Dia: Beacon

Today I went with the group of Guggenheim interns to Dia: Beacon. The train ride and area was refreshing to see- so many trees with leaves changing to yellow and red hues.

The space is filled with natural light and feels never-ending. My two favorite works:

You see I am here after all
by Zoe Leonard

because I felt nostalgic looking at all of the postcards from Niagra Falls (even though I have never been there) and enjoyed reading any visible handwritten words.

Torqued Ellipse II, Double Torqued Ellipse, and
Torqued Ellipse I by Richard Serra

because his work transported me to a different world and confused my senses (one is able to walk inside...).

I can't believe you got to see the torqued ellipse pieces. So they really are incredible? Humongous, right?
